External Email - Use Caution
Hi all, Sorry for the bump but I wanted to take one more shot at this. We're making it back but we've lost many, many hours of editing work. Has anyone else had experiences with QAtools, or other FreeSurfer utilities, removing control point data, or discovered any way to recover control.dat from other files? Thank you, -Matt

Hello, We are finishing up manual inspection and editing of our dataset. As part of this process, we used QATools to generate QA reports. While we were running our reports the tmp/control.dat file was deleted from many of our subject directories (the brains had already been recon'd, so the corrected surfaces were not affected). The timing certainly suggests these were related, but we have no way of knowing if something else unrelated to QAtools happened that caused these files to be deleted. So two questions:
- Has anyone else had an experience with QAtools where the control.dat
file was deleted, or have any insight about why this could have happened? 2) Is the data in control.dat stored anywhere else? For example, can it be recovered from mri/ctrl_pts.mgz? We are mostly fine, but a few brains will need to have control points re-applied.
Something of a shot in the dark, but we would love any suggestions. Thanks, -Matt
